Malinda Pushpakumara 1(32)
20.2
Shami to Pushpakumara, out Caught by Saha!! You could see this edge coming from a mile away. Shami was beating him frequently outside the off-stump, but was probably bowling a bit too short to find the edge. This one's fuller, drawing Pushpakumara forward, holding its line and just about kissing the edge through to Saha. Just a half-hour in and Sri Lanka have lost a couple of wickets already. Pushpakumara c Saha b Shami 1(32)

16.5
Shami to Pushpakumara, no run, back of a length just outside off, Pushpakumara doesn't move across to cover its line, rather he just pokes away from the body. The ball straightens and beats him

14.1
Shami to Pushpakumara, no run, gosh, the way this delivery was played serves as a reminder that we have a night-watchman out there. Good length ball slanted on, Pushpakumara plays across it and misses by a considerable margin before getting hit on the pad. The appeal for LBW is declined as it would have gone down leg with the angle
13.6
Kuldeep Yadav to Karunaratne, no run, doesn't pick the wrong 'un and is hit on the front pad, but it would have easily missed leg stump so no great appeal

10.5
U Yadav to Pushpakumara, no run, a tight good length ball nipping back in to welcome. A hurried closed-bat tuck to mid-wicket
